Augrented Insights Report for 162-15 Highland Avenue

162-15 Highland Avenue is a 6-story, 105-unit residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by Jose Diaz and located in Jamaica Hills. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple heat/hot water complaints filed throughout 2024-2025, including recent complaints in May 2025 for both entire building and individual apartments, though these were subsequently reported as resolved upon inspection.

There are also several unresolved maintenance concerns, including open violations from a September 2024 inspection involving defective self-closing doors in multiple areas (compactor closet and stairway) on the 1st and 3rd stories. The building's infrastructure appears to have required ongoing attention, with multiple 311 service requests related to plumbing issues, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions (including pest complaints) between late 2024 and 2025. The elevator system has been the subject of multiple complaints between 2020-2025, though inspections consistently found no violations warranting further action.

Historical maintenance records indicate previous issues with the boiler system, with several complaints regarding defective or inoperative equipment between 2021-2022, though inspections generally found no violations. The building has experienced periodic pest management challenges, as evidenced by bedbug reporting data, particularly noting six infested units in 2021 and two in 2022, though recent reports for 2023-2024 indicate improved conditions with no reported infestations. The property demonstrates a pattern of environmental compliance monitoring, with the most recent Engineering Code Compliance violations showing active issues related to benchmarking report filings and other documentation requirements.
